Default Rear lift size

ok this may sound dumb, but is the only difference between a narrow frame and wide frame rear lift the width of the yoke? has anyone made a 1 size fits all yoke that comes with spacers to accomodate different frames?

I assume you could put a longer rod through the lift arm, and use bushings.
BUT, then you would have room for the rod to bend, means reducing the lift capacity.
You know, I think machining pieces to go on the ends, out of a highgrade steel, then hardening and tempering would work fine.
Then you have a NF lift arm, and when you put the ends on it, it will fit a WF.
But then there's the issue of mounting bracket.
I don't own a WF so I don't have one to work with.

Ofcourse, in the end, why would you want to take it out once it's in?
Bolting the lift bar to the handle was a ...difficult operation.
(I was told to watch my language)

was wondering because i keep seeing the nf yokes going for about 1/2 the price of the wf. and the wf have been rare in the auction houses from what i have seen.
I know a few farmers in my area that work with the heavy metal full size 500+hp tractors and the 50 foot plus implements that they tow and do repairs on, so working with heavy guage metal is no problem.

the ground up here is pitch black with grey clay mixed in(very heavy) also known as fargo clay. so i know that the quality of parts must be very good for it to work. as i was thinking of building all the parts myself. the way it looks i can probably do it cheaper. i could possibly have the foundary down the road make a few for sale if interest is good

Like I said, I'd personally use high grade steel. A cast piece will crack....maybe.
I'd make two pices that look like a rolling pin. say, 1" or 1.5" center Dia. with 3/8" pins sticking out each side.
Or, come up with a modified bracket that will fit the WF and accept the unmodded NF lift arm.
Not having a WF to look at makes it dif for me to vision.

Where there's a will, there's a mess being made!!!

The lift bars on a Wide Frame are also different than that of a Narrow Frame. I have seen "homemade" ones for a Wide Frame though.

Anyone ever tried bolting a 1X6/7 "Lift lever bracket" on a Wide Frame with a Narrow Frame Lift lever in it? I may have to do some reasearch on that...

I am unclear what exactly you are referencing here. Are you referring to the "Lift Lever" [Item #2] ....as seen in this attachment..??

Won't work...The cast piece will be located too high and hit the fenders.

that b the piece

i may just scavenge the power lift(electric) off of my parts 127 and then direct hook to a sleeve hitch.

or here is a wierd idea...build a towbehind toolbar out of one of my parts frames and run the sleeve hitch off the electric lift from my 127. with a plow it would trail perfectly in the furrow. will just use the narrower 23x6.5 or 8.5 tires. .....plus said toolbar could probably have a dump box on it...

AFAIK......there are three (3) lift levers.

(1) Lift lever for the CCO
(2) NF Lift Lever
(3) WF Lift Lever (can be used with Pivot Rod or Frankenstein Bolts)

R Bedell, I was suggesting fabricating two pins to extend the width of the lift arm (#2).
I also said, I don't have a WF to look at the diff. Are the WF lift arms wider, or narrower than the NF ones?
A yoke could be easily fab'd , they look simple. But to make one that takes both is another story...like I said, I don't have one to look at.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
